I'll bet the LP Jr. sounds great through it.

Awesome awesome AWESOME amp! IMO, the Bassbreakers are one of the best new things Fender has come out with. The tone is amazing and the drive tone is the best I've heard out of a newer Fender amp.
Congrats and enjoy!

No USB. But it does have the power amp-mute with speaker emulated XLR line output. I haven't tried that yet but Fender calls it "recording friendly". I don't yet have an audio interface but definitely will be exploring that function. If anybody here has experience with that I would love to hear your thoughts.

Re: NAD - Fender Bassbreaker 15
Experience with ... the recording out of the Fender, or USB interfaces?

Re: NAD - Fender Bassbreaker 15
Sorry, I realize now I should have been clearer with my question. What I am really wondering is if I need a USB interface while recording from the Bassbreaker's XLR to computer. If I don't need a USB interface do I just need an XLR cable and an adapter to convert it to 1/8, and then just plug it in?

You can get a quality interface for so little money now, it's well worth having; it will make your life a whole lot easier! I like the Focusrite Scarlett Solo for that type of work. (I have 4 different Focusrite interfaces, one one each computer lol).

OP, what do you think of the amp (tone, feel)?
I have played the head version of this amp but am curious what you think of the combo.

Re: NAD - Fender Bassbreaker 15
I am still working my way around it but really like it a lot so far. It's a bedroom amp for me at this point so I appreciate that it sounds great even at low levels. Of course, it sounds it's best when really cranked, just like most all tube amps. I think the tone that comes out of this amp is really great. The clean tone is a little darker than your normal Fender, as expected. But engaging the bright switch is where its at for me.
So far I don't love the digital hall reverb, but it takes pedals well and loves my Boss DD7 and chorus pedals.
I do wish it had foot switchable channels. Absent that detail I really think they did an excellent job with this one.
